Heh.. Don't worry. I won't tell this list about the numerous cookie exploits which lead to thousands, probably millions of Yahoo! account's being compromised last year. If only the media had picked up on it at the time. It would have been a massive story for people like CNet News to run. Some things are ment to be kept underground, I guess. It's amazing the stuff that never makes it onto public security mailing lists, and it seem's like only the small issues are post here by security groups (for Yahoo! at least). And about telling Yahoo! about issues. I've given up on that now. They are ignorant people at the address [EMAIL PROTECTED] They only care for themselfs and have little public relation skills. They burnt there bridges with me and now they'll suffer. They know I get hold of alot of information for Yahoo! and send it to them directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or via other employee's who send it to the security team. I've noticed also from past advisories on here by the big security groups that Yahoo! Security seem to have a problem with public relations and the lack of feedback they give people. Anyway, it's not my problem anymore. They can find there own security loopholes from now on. I'm finished with helping them out, as I have done indirectly over the past 6 years and to [EMAIL PROTECTED] directly for the last 1/2 years. The script kiddies who hang on Yahoo! Chat will probably burn the place down (and that's just the ones who claim to have carried the out Akamia attack on Yahoo!), if they haven't managed to do so already.
